Stung hard by the Chopard bee...
I have been trying to avoid this bite for a full year. It finally caught me earlier in the week. I'll bring forth a much better post soon, and hopefully without all the plastic still on the watch.
You did it, Michael!!!👏👏👏 Huge congratulations!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾
Great shots by the way. Which color strap is your favorite?🤔
The mounted dark gray almost reminds me of old Panerai Vero Squalo straps
It pairs quite well, but so does the brown. Still, I think I can do better with others.
The reason the plastic is on the watch, and even while this quick-change system by Chopard is quite impressive, the factory straps are too long for me. I refuse to wear a new watch of this caliber on the tightest hole, and given how Chopard makes these straps with the metal built in to the ends, they are extremely stiff near the lugs. So my AD is working on short, OEM quick change straps in these colors. I have several other ideas, and truth be told, I will probably abandon the Chopard system so I am not limited to Chopard-only straps. The straps are so rigid, it takes away from the wonderful platinum heft, IMO.

They nailed this dial texture. It is uber appealing to me, after 25 years of conventional guilloche dials.
I happen to also love the color!
It is super special in person. Set in the platinum case, the watch has an aura I have not previously experienced on my wrist.
Top stuff MC....
Can't wait to read your impressions, and particularly how you perceive and experience it relative to your Parmigiani pieces! Congratulations, Filip
I'll be happy to post those impressions after some time.
I have one distinct Parmigiani preference already, specific to setting the time.
I believe you will really enjoy it in person.
I guess I don't need to bring the Lorige when I visit, perhaps this one instead?
Perhaps!
I want you to see the Tutima. That watch has made a major impact on me, and honestly was a convincing domino on going for this Chopard. By the way, M4, you do know this is the Mark IV, as in M4?
I know, I know, I have Vladded you enough already!!

I frequent this forum and am glad to be back to Chopard ownership.
The only other I owned was the black L.U.C 8HF.
Hi praise from a man who clearly understands a good hand winder!
Yes, this is the good kind of sting!
Really beautiful watch.
The dial, hands and case are outstanding. Looking forward to a movement shot assuming it’s visible through the back.
Let's do it! The first movement shot. I must admit, peeling the plastic to reveal the movement finish was a WOW moment for me
Indeed. The 39mm "bassine" shaped case is exceptional!
There are 3 main reasons this 2025 updated Quattro nailed me:
1. The redesigned case amd reduced size
2. The stunning dial
3. The relocated power reserve indicator to the back of the movement
It is the redesigned case and shape which allows the movement to appear properly sized for the watch. It really does look fantastic.
